Text Α Πολῖται ἔσονται οἱ ἄνδρες ἐξ ἀνδρὸς Κυρηναίου καὶ γυναικὸς Κυρηναίας καὶ οἱ ἐκ τῶν Λιβυσσῶν τῶν ἐντὸς τοῦ Καταβαθμοῦ καὶ Αυθαμαλακος καὶ οἱ ἐκ τῶν ἐποίκων τῶν ἐκ τῶν πόλεων τῶν ἐπέκεινα τῆς Θινιτιος, οὓς Κυρηναῖοι ἀπώικισαν καὶ οὓς ἂν Πτολεμαῖος καταστήσηι καὶ οὓς ἂν τὸ πολίτευμα δέξηται ὡς ἂν ἐν τοῖς νόμοις τοῖσδε. Πολίτευμα δ'ἔστω οἱ μυρίοι· ὑπαρχόντωσαν δὲ οἱ φυγάδες οἱ ἐς Αἴγυπτον φυγόντες οὓς ἂν Πτολεμαῖος ἀποδείξηι καὶ οἷς ἂν τὸ τίμημα ἦι τῶν χρημάτων τῶν ἀθανάτων σὺν τοῖς τῆς γυναικὸς μνῶν εἴκοσι Ἀλεξανδρείων, ὃ ἂν οἱ τιμητῆρες τιμήσωσι ἐλεύθερον· καὶ ὅσοις εἰσί ὀφειλόμεναι μναῖ εἴκοσι Ἀλεξάνδρειοι σὺν τοῖς τῆς γυναικὸς ἐν ἀθανάτοις τετιμημένοις μὴ ἐλάσσονος τοῦ ὀφειλήματος καὶ τοῦ τόκου καὶ ἀνταπομνυόντων οἱ ὀφείλοντες κἂν οἱ γείτονες μὴ τιμὰς ἔχωσι, ἔστωσαν καὶ οὗτοι τῶν μυρίων μὴ νεώτεροι τριάκοντα ἐτῶν. Τιμητῆρας δὲ αἱρείσθων οἱ γέροντες ἐκ τῶν μυρίων ἄνδρας ἑξήκοντα μὴ νεωτέρους τριάκοντα ἐτῶν ὀμόσαντες ὅρκον νόμιμον. Οἰ δὲ αἰρεθέντες τιμώντωσαν ὡς ἂν ἐν τοῖς νόμοις γραφῆι· τῶι δὲ πρώτωι ἔτει πολιτευέσθωσαν ἐκ τῶν πρότερον τιμημάτων. Βουλὴ δὲ ἔστω ἄνδρες πεντακόσιοι οἳ ἂν τῶι κλήρωι λάχωσι μὴ νεώτεροι πεντήκοντα ἐτῶν· βουλευόντωσαν δὲ δύ' ἔτη, ἀποκληρωσάντων δὲ τῶι τρίτωι ἔτει τοὺς ἡμίσεις· διαλειπόντωσαν δὲ δύ' ἔτη. Ἐὰν δὲ μὴ γίνηται ὁ ἀριθμὸς προσκληρούντων ἐκ τῶν τεσσαράκοντα ἐτῶν. Γέροντες δ' ἔστωσαν ἑκατὸν εἷς οὓς ἂν Πτολεμαῖος καταστήσηι· κατὰ δὲ τὸν ἀποθανόντα ἢ ἀποσταθέντα εἰς τοὺς ἑκατὸν καὶ ἕνα οἱ μυρίοι ἄλλον αἱρείσθων μὴ νεώτερον πεντήκοντα ἐτῶν. Τοὺς δὲ γέροντας μὴ ἐξέστω αἱρεῖσθαι εἰς ἀρχὴν μηδεμίαν ἄλλην ἢ στρατηγοὺς ἐν πολέμωι. Τοὺς δὲ ἱαρῆας τοῦ Ἀπόλλωνος αἱρείσθων ἐκ τῶν γερόντων τῶμ μὴ ἱαριτευωκότων, μὴ νεωτέρωον πεντήκοντα ἐτῶν. Στρατηγὸς δὲ ἔστω Πτολεμαῖος ἀεί. Πρὸς δὲ τοῦτον αἱρείσθωσαν στρατηγοὺς πέντε ἐκ τῶν μήπω ἐστρατηγηκότων μὴ νεωτέρους πεντήκοντα ἐτῶν· Ἐὰν δὲ πόλεμος ἦι, ἐκ παντὸς τοῦ πολιτεύματος. Ἐὰν δὲ πόλεμος προσγένηται ἄλλος τις καὶ μὴ Λιβυκός, οἱ μυρίοι διαγνόντωσαν πότερον οἱ αὐτοὶ στρατηγῶσιν ἢ μή· ἐὰν δὲ δόξηι μὴ τοὺς αὐτὸς, αἱρείσθωσαν ἐκ παντὸς τοῦ πολιτεύματος. Ἔστωσαν δὲ καὶ νομοφύλακες ἐννῆ ἐκ τῶν μὴ νενομοφυλακηκότων καὶ ἔφοροι πέντε ἐκ τῶμ μὴ ἐφορευωκότων, μὴ νεώτεροι ἐτῶν πεντήκοντα. Πρασσόντωσαν δὲ οἱ μὲγ γέροντες ἃ οἱ γέροντες ἐπ' ερἰρήνης ἔπρασσον, ἡ δὲ βουλὴ ἃ ἡ βουλή, οἰ δὲ μυρίοι ἃ οἱ χίλιοι. Πάσας τὰς θανάτου δίκας δικαζόντων οἱ γέροντες καὶ ἡ βουλὴ καὶ ἐκ τῶν μυρίων χίλιοι καὶ πεντακόσιοι οἳ ἂν κλήρωι λάχωσι· χρέσθωσαν δὲ τοῖς νόμοις τοῖς προτέροις ὅσοι μὴ ὑπεναντίοι τῶιδε τῶι διαγράμματι. Ὑπεύθυνοι δὲ ἔστωσαν αἱ ἀρχαὶ κατὰ τοὺς νόμους τοὺς ὄντας. Ὅτωι δ' ἂν ἀγομένωι ὑπὸ τῶν στρατηγῶν οἱ γέροντες καὶ ἡ βουλὴ θάνατον κρίνωσι, ἐξέστω αὐτῶι ὁπότερον ἂν βουλήται ἢ ἐν τοῖς νόμοις δικάσασθαι ἢ ἐν Πτολεμαίω ἔτη τρία. Τὸ δὲ λοιπὸν ἐν τοῖς νόμοις δικαζέσθων. Φυγάδοας δὲ μὴ καταδικαζέσθων ἄτερ τῆς Πτολεμαίου γνώμης. Ὅς ἂν δ'ἐκ τοῦ πολιτεύματος δημοσίαι ἰατρεύηι ἢ παιδοτριβῆι ἢ διδάσκηι τοξεύειν ἢ ἱππεύειν ἢ ὁπλομαχεῖν ἢ κηρύσσηι ἐν βρυτανείωι μὴ συνπορευέσθω μυριακὰς ἀρχὰς, ὃς ἂν τούτων Ὃς ἂν τῶν πολιτῶν κάμηι ἢ συνθῆι τὸν σίας ἢ πολυδικῆι ἢ προδικίας παλινκαπηλεύηι, ἐν τῆι ἀτιμίαι ἒστωσαν ηται ἢ λιθουργήσει ἢ φορτηγὸς γένηται ἢ ἄλλοτε ινθῆι ὅτι βαναυσεργασίαν ἠργάσατο τοὺς αν ἔστω στρατηγὸς μηδέποτε. Ὃς ἂν τὰς Πτολεμαίου γνώμας λύσηι ἃς ἐς Κυρηναίους Πτολεμαῖος καθεῖ σε, θανάσιμος ἔσται. Ὅσα οἱ φυγάδες χρήματα ο μὲν τιμίων καὶ ἀδίκους ἐδέξαντο ν πρὸς ἀλλήλους τὰ ὕστατα. Κύρια τὰ χρήματα ἔστω τῶν ἱδίων. Νόμος ἔσται Κυρηναίοις νους τὰ χρέα πάντα τῆς κσίαν ἀναιρεῖσθαι τὰ χρήματα ἀπὸ πρὸς ἀλλήλους ων αἰτείσθωσαν οἱ καὶ τῆι βουλῆι καὶ τοῖς οις τῶν ἐπ' αἰῶνα ἄλλοι πάντες οἱ ἐν τῆι πολιτείαι τὰ δάνεια δέονται ἐν τῆι πόλει ὑποθέμεν ἐπὶ πρᾶσιν τῶν μισθοφόρων τῶμ Πτολεμαίωι οἰκίας ἢ ἀγροὺς ἔπρασσον ὅσα δι' ἀληθείας αι ἀγτισιν κομιτωσαν τὰ χρήματα τοῖς ταμίαις κατὰ τὸ διάγραμμα· τῶν δὲ ἄλλων πάντων τῶν ἐχομένων δι' ἀληθείας δπσαν ἀγρῶν καὶ τῆι πόλει τὰς τιμὰς ὃς θυ λρα τεχμασανεα τῶν προσόδων οὐσῶν, εὐθέως κηρυαασασηπμειαν καὶ τὰ ἄλλα καὶ τὸς λοιποὺς δούλους ἀπολυσάντων πρῶτον οἱ δεσπόται οἳ ἦσαν κατὰ τοῦ ματος ὡς μὴ ἐλεύθερα ἐπρίαντο οἰκίας ἢ ἀγρούς, ἄκυρος αὐτοῖς ἔστω ὠνή· ἐν τοῖς μηδένα οειν μηδὲ δοῦλον· ὃς δ' ἂν φρουρῶν αὐτομολήσηι, ἡ δίκη θάνατος ἔσται.

Ἀ α Ferri read an alpha at the beginning of the line, but did not take it into account; Ferri thought there was a line, fully lost, above our line 1 and another line below our line 1 that he supplied as following: τοῦ κοινοῦ πολῖται ἔσονται οἱ πάντες Κυρηναῖοι · πρὸς δὲ τούτοις Ἀγαθὰ Τύχα Fraser saw, on the stone, letters on a line below – as Ferri did –, but thought that it would be extremely rash not only to read a line but also to restore it in the way Ferri did; thus our numbers of lines are the same as Oliverio's and Fraser's Πολῖται ἔσονται οἱ ἄνδρες ἐξ ἀνδρὸς Κυρηναίου Πολῖται ἔσονται οἱ ἐλεύθεροι ἐκ πατρὸς Λιβυκοῦ Πολῖται ἔσονται οἱ ἄνδρες ἐκ πατρὸς Κυρηναίου καὶ γυναικὸς καὶ γυναικὸς Κυρηναίας καὶ γυναικὸς Κυρηναίας καὶ γυναικὸς Κυρηνναίας ἐκ τῶν Λιβυσσῶν ἐκ τῶν Λιβυσσῶν τοῦ Καταβαθμοῦ τοῦ Καταβαθμοῦ τοῦ Καταβαθμοῦ Wilamowitz's reading τοῦ Καταβαθμοῦ τοῦ Καταβαθμοῦ Αὐθαμάλακος Αὐταμαλακόσιοι Αὐτθαμάλακος οἱ ἐκ τῶν ἐποίκων οἱ ἐκ τῶν ἐκπεσωοντων τῶν πόλεων τῶμ πόλεων νιτων Wilamowitz's reading ἐπέκεινα τῆς ἐπέκεινα γῆς ἐπέκεινα τῆς Θινίτιος Θινιτίων Θινινός καὶ οὓς ἂν καὶ οὓς ἂν καὶ οὓς ἂν τὸ κατὰ φυλήν· reading considered impossible by Wilamowitz and Klaffenbach apud Ferri δέξεται δέξεται δὲ ἔσται δέξηεται τοῖσδε τοῖσδε οὓς οὓς οἷς δὲ οἷς ἂν τὸ Wilamowitz's reading οἷς ἂν τὸ τῶν ἀθανάτων τῶν ἀνάτων ἀθανάτων οἱ τιμητῆρες οἱ τιμητῆρες οἱ τιμητῆρες τιυμήσωσι τιμήσωσι καὶ ὅσοις εἰσί ὀφειλόμεναι ὅσοις εἰσὶ ὀφειλόμεναι ὅσοις εἴη ὀφειλόμενον ὅσοις εἰσὶ Klaffenbach and Willamowitz's reading, lacking ὀφειλόμενον ὅσοις εἰσὶ ὀφειλδόμεναι μναῖ εἴκοσι Ἀλεξάνδρειοι μναῖς εἴκοσι Ἀλεξανδρείοις μναῖ εἴκοσι ἈλεξάνδρειοιKlaffenbach and Willamowitz's reading ἐν ἀθανάτοις εκανατοις ἀθανάτοις Klaffenbach and Wilamowitz's reading μὴ ἀθανάτοις μὴ ἀθανάτοις μὴ ἐλάσσονος already Klaffenbach and Willamowitz apud Ferri μὴ ἔλασσον ἦι μὴ ἐλάσσονος μὴ ἐλάσσονοας τοῦ ὀφειλήματος τοῦ ὀφειλήματος κἂν οἱ γείτονες μὴ κἂν οἱ γείτονες μὴ ἐὰν οἱ γείτονες μὴ τιμὰς τιμὰς οὗτοι οὗτοι Μυρίων μυρίων Τιμητῆρας Τιμητῆρας δὲ αἱρείσθων already Wilamowitz apud Ferri ἀναιρείσθων νεωτέρους τριάκοντα τριάκοντα τριάκοντα ὀμόσαντες ὁμόσαντες with erroneous rough breathing ὁρκώσαντες ὡς ἂν already Wilamowitz apud Ferri τιμώντωσαν ὅσα ἂν πολιτευέσθωσαν πολιτευέσθωσαν νεώτεροι νεώτεροι τρίτωι τρίτωι τρίτωι γίνηται γείνηται ἀριθμὸς ἀριθμὸς ἐτῶν. ἐτῶν τοὺς ἄλλους ἐτῶν τοὺς ἄλλους. the stone was broken off at this place already in Oliverio's time, as shown by the photograph Γέροντες δ'ἔστωσαν already Klaffenbach and Wilamowitz apud Ferri Γέροντες ἔστωσαν κατὰ δὲ τὸν ἀποθανόντα κατὰ δὲ τὸν ἢ ἀποθανόντα τὸς τοὺς Ferri thought he saw an upsilon, very slightly inscribed, hence perhaps added later τοὺς αἱρείσθων αἱρείσθων μὴ ἐξέστω αἱρεῖσθαι μὴ ἐγκαταριθμεῖσθαι μὴ ἔστω ἐφαιρεῖσθαι Wilamowitz's reading ἐν πολέμωι.

Seront citoyens les hommes nés d’un Cyrénéen et d’une Cyrénéenne et aussi ceux nés des femmes libyennes de la zone entre le Katabathmos et Authamalax, ainsi que ceux nés des epoikoi de cités au-delà de la Thinitis installées par les Cyrénéens, ceux que Ptolémée nommera et ceux que le corps civique admettra en application des présentes lois.

Le politeuma se composera des Dix mille ; en feront partie les exilés réfugiés en Egypte que Ptolémée désignera et ceux qui possèdent des biens non périssables évalués (10) avec ceux de leur épouse à vingt mines d’Alexandre, à condition que les évaluateurs les estiment libres d’hypothèque ; et tous ceux qui détiennent des créances d’une valeur de vingt mines d’Alexandre avec ceux de leur épouse estimés en biens non périssables pour une valeur qui ne soit pas inférieure à la créance augmentée des intérêts — et que les débiteurs confirment ces créances sous la foi du serment— même si leurs voisins ne jouissent pas de tous leurs droits, ces hommes-là feront eux aussi partie des Dix mille, s’ils ont plus de trente ans. Les gérontes choisiront comme évaluateurs parmi les Dix mille soixante hommes de plus de trente ans, après avoir prêté le serment réglementaire. Ceux qui seront choisis procèderont aux évaluations conformément aux prescriptions des lois ; la première année, on sera citoyen sur la base des évaluations passées.

Le conseil sera constituée de cinq cents citoyens tirés au sort de plus de cinquante ans ; ils exerceront leur mandat de conseiller pendant deux ans et la troisième année exclueront par tirage au sort la moitié d’entre eux ; ceux-ci abandonneront leur mandat pour une durée de deux ans. Si le nombre n’est pas atteint, on complètera par tirage au sort parmi les quarantenaires.

(20) Seront gérontes cent un citoyens, que Ptolémée nommera ; les Dix mille choisiront au fur et à mesure des décès ou des défaillances un autre membre de plus de cinquante ans pour compléter les cent un. Il ne sera pas possible de choisir un gérôn, pour une magistrature autre que la stratégie en temps de guerre. Les prêtres d’Apollon seront choisis parmi les gérontes n’ayant pas exercé la prêtrise et âgés de plus de cinquante ans.

Ptolémée sera stratège à vie. Seront choisis en outre cinq stratèges parmi ceux qui n’ont pas assumé cette fonction, âgés de plus de cinquante ans; mais en cas de guerre, ils seront pris dans l’ensemble du politeuma. Si survient une nouvelle guerre, sauf une guerre contre des Libyens, les Dix mille décideront si (30) les mêmes doivent continuer à exercer la stratégie ou non ; si c’est non, on en choisira dans l’ensemble du politeuma.

Il y aura aussi neuf nomophylaques pris parmi ceux qui n’ont pas exercé cette fonction.

Et cinq éphores pris parmi ceux qui n’ont pas exercé cette fonction, âgés de plus de cinquante ans.

Les gérontes exerceront les fonctions qu’avaient les gérontes du temps de la paix, le conseil exercera les fonctions qu’avait le conseil, les Dix mille exerceront les fonctions qu’avaient les Mille. Toutes les causes susceptibles d’entraîner la peine capitale seront jugées par les gérontes, le conseil et mille cinq cents des Dix mille, choisis par tirage au sort ; ils useront de toutes les lois précédentes qui ne contreviennent pas aux dispositions du présent diagramma. Les magistrats seront soumis à reddition de compte selon les lois existantes. Quelqu’un qui sera déféré par les stratèges et inculpé par les gérontes et le conseil au risque de la peine capitale, (40) pourra choisir d’être jugé selon les lois ou par devant Ptolémée, et ceci pour une période de trois ans. Par la suite, on sera jugé selon les lois. Mais les exilés ne devront pas être condamnés sans l’avis de Ptolémée.

Tout membre du corps civique qui à titre public exerce les fonctions de médecin ou de pédotribe ou de maître de tir à l’arc, de cavalerie ou de combat en armes ou de héraut au prytanée ne pourra pas exercer en même temps une des magistratures accessibles aux Dix mille, quel qu'il soit parmi eux.

Celui des citoyens qui sera malade ou qui combinera ou qui intentera des procès en série ou qui des inculpations ou qui , pratiquera la revente au détail de produits importés, sera passible de privation de droits ; de même celui qui sera ou tailleur de pierres ou portefaix ou d’autre façon ra du fait qu’il a exercé une activité artisanale (50) ne sera jamais stratège.

Quiconque attentera aux décisions imposées par Ptolémée aux Cyrénéens sera passible de la peine capitale.

Tous les biens que les exilés des choses de valeur et ont accueilli des coupables entre eux en dernier ressort. Les biens personnels seront en pleine propriété.

Pour les Cyrénéens, la loi voudra que toutes les dettes emporter les biens de les uns envers les autres les réclameront et au conseil et aux (60) des à vie tous les autres dans la vie civique les emprunts ont besoin dans la cité d’hypothéquer en vue de vendre de ceux qui aux gages de Ptolémée ont administré des maisons ou des terrains tout ce qu’en vérité ront les biens aux trésoriers conformément au diagramma ; et de tous les autres biens détenus en vérité des terrains et à la cité celui qui sacrifiera; les prix des revenus existants, aussitôt le héraut proclamera et les autres biens et le reste des esclaves seront libérés tout d’abord par leurs maîtres passés (70) pour la raison qu’ils les ont achetés alors qu’ils n’étaient pas libres d’hypothèque — maisons ou terrains — que leur achat soit nul ; , personne , pas même un esclave. Pour quiconque fera défection de son poste de garde, la peine de mort s’appliquera. Magistrats : prêtre pour la troisième année : Peithagoras fils d’Annikeris. Stratèges :

le 20 Epiphi.

Should be citizens the men born from a Cyrenaean father and a Cyrenaean mother and also those born from Libyan women between Katabathmos and Authamalax, as well as those born from the epoikoi of cities beyond Thinitis which the Cyrenaeans settled, those whom Ptolemy will appoint and those whom the civic body will admit in enforcement of the present laws.

The politeuma should consist of the Ten thousands; should also be part the exiles having taken refuge in Egypt whom Ptolemy will appoint and those who are in possession of everlasting belongings estimated (10) with those of their wife at twenty mines of Alexander, provided that the evaluators estimate them mortgage-free; furthermore those who hold debts valuated twenty mines of Alexander with everlasting belongings of their wife estimated not lower than the debt plus the tokens — and those indebted should confirm the debts upon oath — and even if their neighbours are deprived of rights, those will also be part of the Ten thousand, if they are older than thirty years of age. The gerontes should choose as evaluators amongst the Ten thousand sixty men older than thirty, after having sworn the customary oath. Those who will be chosen will carry out the evaluations by enforcement of the laws; for the first year, one will be a citizen in accordance with the past evaluations.

The council should consist of five hundred drawn amongst the citizens aged more than fifty; they should act as councillors for two years and on the third year they should draw out half of them; these should leave their office for two years. If the total is not fulfilled, the missing number will be drawn amongst those aged more than forty years.

(20) Should be gerontes hundred and one citizens whom Ptolemy will appoint; in case of death or failure, the Ten thousand should elect another member aged more than fifty years in order to complete the hundred and one. It will not be allowed to elect a geron for any office but strategy in wartime. The priests of Apollo will be chosen amongst the gerontes who have never fulfilled the priesthood and are aged more than fifty years.

Ptolemy will be strategos for life. Furthermore five strategoi will be chosen amongst those who have not yet taken on that duty and aged more than fifty years; but in case of war, amongst the whole politeuma. If another war occurs, except a war against Libyans, the Ten thousand should decide whether (30) the same will be strategoi longer or not; if not, they should be chosen amongst the whole politeuma.

There will be also nine nomophylakes chosen amongst those who have not yet taken on that duty.

And five ephori chosen amongst those who have not yet taken on that duty and aged more than fifty years.

The gerontes should do what the gerontes did in peace time, the council should do what the council did, the Ten thousand should do what the Thousand did. All cases with a risk of death penalty should be tried by the gerontes, the council and one thousand and five hundred men drawn amongst the Ten thousand; they should use the former laws, provided that they do not infringe the present diagramma. The public offices should be liable to rendering account according to the existing laws. Someone who will be brought to trial by the strategoi and charged by the gerontes and the council with risk of death penalty (40) should be allowed to choose whether he will be tried either according to the laws or before Ptolemy, this for three years. Afterwards, the trial should be made according to the laws. But against the exiles no sentence should be allowed without Ptolemy’s advice.

Any member of the civic body who publicly acts as physician or paedotribes or teaches archery, riding or fighting in arms or acts as herald in the prytaneion should not be allowed to perform at the same time an office open to the Ten thousand, whoever amongst them.

Any citizen who will be ill or will combine or will institute multiple proceedings or charges or will retail imported products, this one will be liable to deprivation of his rights; likewise whoever will be or stonecutter or porter or in another way will be , because of his exercising craftsmanship (50) should never be strategos.

Whoever will undermine the decisions imposed by Ptolemy on the Cyrenaeans should be liable to death penalty.

All belongings that the exiles valuables and welcomed guilty persons one another at a last resort. The personal possessions should be full belongings.

For the Cyrenaeans, the law should be that all debts take away the belongings of one towards the other them should reclaim and to the council and to the (60) of the for life all others in the political life the loans need in the city to mortgage in order to sell of those who in Ptolemy’s service managed houses or pieces of land all what truly will the belongings to the treasurers according to the diagramma; and of all other possessions truly belonging pieces of land and to the city whoever will sacrifice; the prices of the existing incomes, immediately the herald should proclaim and the other belongings and the rest of the slaves should be freed first by their former masters (70) because they bought them when they were not free of mortgage — houses or pieces of land — the purchase should be null; nobody , not even a slave. Whoever will desert his post of guard, to him the penalty should be death. Magistrates: priest for the third year: Peithagoras son of Annikeris. Strategoi:

Epiphi, the 20th.

Saranno cittadini gli uomini nati da padre di Cirene e da madre di Cirene e anche quelli nati da donne libiche della zona tra la località di Katabathmos e di Authamalax, come pure quelli discendenti dagli epoikoi delle città al di là di Thinitis, che i Cirenei insediarono, coloro che Tolemeo nomini e coloro che il corpo civico ammetta in applicazione delle leggi seguenti.

Il politeuma sia l'insieme dei Diecimila: vi facciano parte gli esuli rifugiati in Egitto che Tolemeo designerà e coloro che hanno un patrimonio in beni durevoli, (10) compresi quelli della moglie, di venti mine di Alessandro, patrimonio che i timeteres avranno valutato libero da ipoteche; e coloro che sono creditori di venti mine di Alessandro e la cui moglie possiede beni valutati come durevoli di valore non inferiore al credito dovuto e all'interesse – e i debitori confermino questi crediti con giuramento – e anche se i loro vicini non hanno pieni diritti, facciano parte anche questi uomini dei Diecimila, se non sono più giovani di trenta anni. I gerontes scelgano come timeteres dai Diecimila sessanta uomini non più giovani di trenta anni, dopo aver prestato il giuramento tradizionale. Gli eletti facciano le valutazioni in base a quanto sia scritto nelle leggi; ma per il primo anno si componga il corpo civico in base alle valutazioni precedenti.

Il consiglio sia di cinquecento uomini, sorteggiati fra i non più giovani di cinquanta anni. Siano consiglieri per due anni, escludano per sorteggio al terzo anno la metà degli effettivi; questi abbandonino la carica per due anni. Qualora non risulti il numero, selezionino i mancanti con un sorteggio supplementare fra quelli di quaranta anni.

(20) I gerontes siano centouno, che Tolemeo designerà. Nel caso in cui uno muoia o sia deposto, per arrivare al numero di centouno i Diecimila ne eleggano un altro non più giovane di cinquanta anni. Non sia lecito eleggere i gerontes in nessuna altra carica tranne la strategia in tempo di guerra. I sacerdoti di Apollo siano scelti fra i gerontes, che non abbiano ancora ricoperto la carica di sacerdote, non più giovani di cinquanta anni.

Stratego sia Tolemeo per sempre. Oltre a lui si eleggano cinque strateghi fra coloro che non hanno ancora ricoperto la carica di stratego, non più giovani di cinquanta anni; ma se c'è la guerra, si eleggano dall'intero politeuma. Se, d'altro canto, sopravviene una nuova guerra, eccezion fatta per una guerra contro dei Libici, i Diecimila determinino se (30) gli stessi strateghi debbano continuare l'incarico oppure no; se si decide che non debbono continuare l'incarico gli stessi, li eleggano dall'intero politeuma.

Ci siano poi nove nomophylakes, scelti fra coloro che non hanno ricoperto la carica di nomophylax.

E cinque efori, scelti fra coloro che non hanno ricoperto la carica di eforo, non più giovani di cinquanta anni.

I gerontes facciano ciò che i gerontes facevano in tempo di pace, il consiglio quello che faceva il consiglio, i Diecimila quello che facevano i Mille. Tutte le cause che prevedano la pena di morte le giudichino i gerontes, il consiglio e millecinquecento fra i Diecimila, estratti a sorte. Utilizzino tutte le leggi precedenti che non siano contrarie a questo diagramma. I magistrati siano soggetti al rendiconto in base alle leggi in vigore. Chiunque, chiamato in giudizio dagli strateghi, sia accusato formalmente, con pronuciamento per la pena capitale, dai gerontes e dal consiglio, (40) abbia la possibilità, se lo desidera, di essere giudicato o in base alle leggi o da Tolemeo, per tre anni. Per l'avvenire si giudichi in base alle leggi. Ma gli esuli non siano condannati senza il parere di Tolemeo.

Chiunque del corpo civico svolga per la città la professione di medico o di paidotribes o insegni a tirare con l'arco o ad andare a cavallo o a combattere in armi o faccia l'araldo nel pritaneo, non può esercitare contemporaneamente le magistrature proprie dei Diecimila, chiunque di costoro.

Chi dei cittadini sia malato o chi combini o chi intenti molte cause o chi delle imputazioni o chi o venda al minuto prodotti importati, sia privato dei diritti civili; allo stesso modo chi sia o tagliatore di pietre o diventi facchino o in altro modo , poiché ha svolto un'attività artigianale (50) non sarà mai stratego.

Chiunque attenti alle decisioni imposte da Tolemeo ai Cirenei, sia punibile con la morte.

Tutti i beni che gli esuli delle cose di valore e hanno accolto dei colpevoli gli uni verso gli altri come ultima istanza. I beni personali siano in piena proprietà.

Legge sarà per i Cirenei che tutti i debiti , prendere i beni di gli uni verso gli altri i richiedano e al consiglio e ai dei (60) a vita tutti gli altri nella vita civica i prestiti hanno bisogno in città di ipotecare per vendere di coloro che al servizio di Tolemeo hanno amministrato delle case o dei terreni tutto quanto con certezza i beni ai tesorieri conformemente al diagramma; di tutti gli altri beni posseduti con certezza dei terreni e alla città colui che sacrifichi; i prezzi delle rendite esistenti, subito l'araldo proclami e gli altri beni e gli schiavi rimanenti siano liberati in primo luogo dai loro padroni precedenti (70) per il fatto che essi hanno comprato – case o terreni – quando non erano liberi da ipoteca, il loro acquisto sia privo di validità; nessuno , nemmeno uno schiavo. A chi diventi disertore dal suo posto di guardia si applicherà la pena di morte. Magistrati: sacerdote per il terzo anno Peithagoras figlio di Annikeris. Strateghi:

Kallippos figlio di Melanippos, Polianthes figlio di Eukleidas, Eukles figlio di Theuchrestos, Kallis figlio di Mnasarchos, Kydimachos figlio di Zeuximachos, Philinos figlio di Exakis, Kallippos figlio di Etearchos, Ammonios figlio di Lentichos, Aristandridas figlio di Straton, Kleugenes figlio di Xouthos, Arimmas figlio di Theudoros, Theudoros figlio di Etearchos.

Nomophylakes: Aristophon figlio di Euphris, Pratis figlio di Kyrbasias, Annikeris figlio di Etearchos, (80) Hagesistratos figlio di Nikasios, Pratomedes figlio di Karnedas, Agesandros figlio di Kleanor, Bakal figlio di Aiglanor, Hagesistratos figlio di Ariston, Damis figlio di Nausis. Efori:

Pratomedes figlio di Philippos, Polykles figlio di , figlio di inos, Androkles figlio di Kallimachos, Xenophantos figlio di . Nomoteti:

Pratomedes figlio di Philippos, Hagesistratos figlio di Nikasios, Proros figlio di Aristophon, Kydimachos figlio di Aiglanor, Androkles figlio di Kallimachos

Commentary

This is a new edition of an important and much discussed inscription. Generally speaking, the text frequently referred to has been that of , 9.1 , which is said to be based upon Oliverio's readings. However, Oliverio very cautiously had given whole phrases as unclear, a fact that was obliterated in the following edition. Fraser and Laronde, each of them for different parts of the text, came back to more reasonable positions. Independently from a personal observation of the stone by Dobias-Lalou, the present edition is based upon the photographs taken at the time of the discovery. For a few points, we agree with readings of Ferri, that Oliverio had eliminated. And where Oliverio's readings seem too hazardous, we prefer not to write down what seems to be severely damaged.

In this commentary it is impossible to discuss all the historical implications of the diagramma, for which the bibliography will be helpful (see lately , pp. 105-149 ). The notes below are restricted to points deserving discusssion for establishing the text and to prosopographical implications later than those already exposed by , pp. 85-128 and passim.

At line 1, of which nearly nothing survives, Oliverio restored the formula that stands ahead of IGCyr011000 and is usual for Attic decrees. But it is far from certain that such an invocation to the Good Fortune would have stood here. Anyway, the taller letters seem to show that this was some sort of title.

At line 5, Oliverio's emendation into δέξηται is not necessary. The short vowel may be explained either as parallel of other uses of the future with ἄν in Attic and the koine or more plausibly as a reminiscence by the stone-cutter of the subjonctives with short vowel of the local dialect. Other such mistakes were duly mentioned by Fraser: τός at line 22 and 69, αὐτός at line 30, ἐννῆ at line 32, subjonctive λιθουργήσει at line 48 and probably the infinitive ὑποθέμεν at ll. 61-62.

Line 6, the politeuma is a group of citizens with full political rights vs the 'ordinary' citizens mentioned at line 2.

At line 25 the singular νεώτερον is very clear on the stone. In fact, the plural at the beginning of the sentence is used in a general prospect, whereas the singular of the adjective refers to each annual choice of only one priest.

At line 41 τὸ λοιπόν may apply to the duration of the special treatment (hence 'afterwards') or to the type of case (with death-penalty or else).

Lines 46-72 correspond to the part where the re-use occasioned the most severe damages. We agree with Fraser that the much smoothened surface can offer no certain restoration and that «any attempt to recover more than the most general sense must be abandoned». We thus follow most of his cautious readings, especially restoring at line 47 προδικία, rather than the alternative ὑποδικία, plausibly derived from ὑπόδικος 'liable to be tried', both fitting an ἀτιμία .

At line 63 Πτολεμαίωι, although ending with ωι can only be a genitive. This is a very early occurrence of a confusion that becomes more frequent in the Roman period.

At line 74, the first mentioned strategos is Kallippos son of Melanippos. The man mentioned in the epitaph IGCyr087000 is probably his son and should be added to the stemma of the family (see , p. 117 ).

At line 76, the last name is restored as Στράτων by others; however Στράτος and Στράτις, also attested in Cyrenaica, are quite possible.

At line 79 the name of the second man mentioned might be restored either as Πρᾶτις or Πρῶρος. However, as his father has the very rare name Κυρβασίας, it is highly probable that he was related to Κυρβασίας Πράτιος mentioned on a funerary base (IGCyr025400) not later than ca. 275 B.C.

At line 80, the restoration Ἁγήσανδρος Κλεάνορος is based upon IGCyr095900, l.1.

At lines 83 and 86 the same man, Pratomedes son of Philippos, is acting as ephoros and nomothetes; he should be also mentioned as a commander of cavalry at IGCyr084000, l. 13. We have now also his epitaph (see IGCyr120800).

At line 87, the restoration of the father's name of Androkles son of Callimachos is based upon the fact that two other nomothetai are also mentioned before, Hagesistratos son of Nikasios being also a nomophylax and Pratomedes son of Philippos being also an ephor. Thus the assumption that the nomothesia was no ordinary office and could be took on as a supplementary duty (see , p. 99 ).
